"It's an honor to return as host of the 2013 People's Choice Awards and kick off awards season with one of the most fun events of the year," said Cuoco.

Survivor's Mark Burnett will return as executive producer for the evening.

Burnett said: "Kaley is such an engaging performer who brings an undeniable energy and passion to our stage. There is no doubt she will be a key part of what makes this year's show a can't miss event."

Voting for next year's People's Choice Awards begins on October 23, with fans able to narrow down the nominees in over 40 categories.
